== #1 Bored API == First, let's work through a few examples from the [http://www.boredapi.com/ Bored API]. In order to answer these, you'll need access to the API activity endpoint (https://www.boredapi.com/api/activity) and the documentation at http://www.boredapi.com/. My strong advice is to start building your work off the code I did in class which is in the [https://github.com/kayleachampion/spr23_CDSW/blob/main/curriculum/week4/week4_lecture_part_1_bored_api.ipynb week 4 lecture part 1Jupyter notebook]. # Write some Python code to use the API to get an activity that I could do with my partner. Turn the data from the API into a sentence that tells me the activity, its accessibility, and its price. (Note: this used to say "free activity"; we removed that because it's more boring that way.) ## Extend that code so that it gets me 5 activities and have it write a nicely formatted output. # First, get a totally random activity from the API. Print it out, along with its activity type. Now get me another activity that's of the same type as the first random activity. Print it out too, plus its activity type (to check that they're the same). # Write a Python program that prints out one random activity of each type that the Bored API supports. (See if you can use a loop for this!)
